Hi
I am a newbie running SuSE 8.1 and Win on my desktop at home. I have a USB ADSL internet connection and a network card. My g/f has a laptop running only Win. What do I have to do to enable the connection to be shared by her machine when I an in SuSE (which is whenever Im not playing games ;))? We have done it in Win so we can physically connect. I'm afraid I don't know enough about networking in Linux yet, so helpful hints gratefully appreciated.

Andy What I have done with my machines at home is to run SuSE firewall2 on my machine with the USB ADSL connection and configure the firewall to masquarade the ip addresses of local network. I've then set the gateway on the window boxes with the local ip address of the machine with the USB connection. (I hope I'm making sense, here) It works like a charm. Eddie
